27 Nourishing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Nourishing. Pure fortune.

Watch the jaws

and what one seeks to fill one's mouth.

The changing lines

The second line:
With jerking jaws, you disobey

the right ways. Find nourishment

in the nearby hills

instead of journeying far away.
The third line:
Jaws shake in opposition. Persistence

will bring misfortune. For ten years,

all will be useless and no place

will bring gain.
The fourth line:
Moving jaws are fortunate.

Like a glaring tiger, passion runs full,

but there is no fault.
The fifth line:
Disobeying the right ways:

dwelling instead in virtue brings fortune.

Do not advance across the great river.

1 Heaven

The Statement of the second hexagram

Heaven: maker, pervasive,
bountiful, and pure.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder below the mountain: nourishing.
The noble one is
careful in speech
and temperate
while eating and drinking.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven moves with power:
the noble one never stops
strengthening himself.
